Requests:  0 Summary:  The follow-up to Pinker's groundbreaking The Better Angels of Our Nature presents the big picture of human progress: people are living longer, healthier, freer, and happier lives, and while our problems are formidable, the solutions lie in the Enlightenment ideal of using reason and science. Far from being a naive hope, the Enlightenment, we now know, has worked. But more than ever, it needs a vigorous defense. The Enlightenment project swims against currents of human nature--tribalism, authoritarianism, demonization, magical thinking--which demagogues are all too willing to exploit. Many commentators, committed to political, religious, or romantic ideologies, fight a rearguard action against it. The result is a corrosive fatalism and a willingness to wreck the precious institutions of liberal democracy and global cooperation.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.44 Pi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.44 Pi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 303.44 Pi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.44 Pinker Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 303.44 Pi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.44 Pi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.44 Pi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.44 Pi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.44 Pi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.44 Pi Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
